Too Girlish?

Hi everybody! I'm Australian, and my husband's Irish, and we're expecting a baby boy but we're not quite sure what to call him. No "Aussie" names have really appealed to me but my husband brought up the Irish name "Carroll" and I must say I love it. We are a bit concerned about his future, though, because how many boys do you see these days with the name "Carroll", even though it is a unisex name?! Any thoughts? Thanks!

I don't know any Carols under 50 and the ones I do know are women.
But yes, have heard of the English film director, Sir Carol Reed.
As a pp has said, Karol is a Polish name and I believe Karel is Czech?
I'll be honest at first I was doubtful but the more I think about it, the more Carroll looks and sounds fine.
